Child Mentoring Program

Wellspring of Hope Mentoring :

This program is an outreach focused on the children of New Britain.

We are currently partnering with Lincoln School, working with 1st-3rd grade students.

Our program is structured with a framework of support.  This support includes a Program Coordinator, Staff Coordinator, Facilitators for training and a Mentor Liaison.  The school Social Worker and Administration work alongside us to create ease and proper direction.

Each mentor meets during the school day with the same child once a week for an hour throughout the school year. We provide basic tutoring assistance and a positive adult role model who cares about them and desires the best for them.  There is room for as many Tutors/Mentors as are willing to serve.

Wellspring provides the training and background clearance in a simple seminar format through the Governor's Prevention Partnership.  This three hour class is held here at Wellspring and is required before becoming a mentor.  Mentors are then matched up with a student for the school year.
